Bookkeeping Cleanup
“How do I get my books cleaned up so I can file my taxes?”
Getting books cleaned up for tax filing often starts with sorting the records that feed the return, such as bank and credit card activity, invoices, receipts, payroll items, and any owner contributions or draws. The answer can depend on how long the records have been messy, whether there are missing statements, and whether the business is cash based, accrual based, or a mix of both. In many cases, the cleanup process also involves matching transactions, resolving uncategorized entries, and identifying anything that affects income, expenses, or balance sheet accounts before the return is prepared. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
